SYMETRA CLUB commissioned the creation of a mural that reflects the artist’s view of what it would look like if more people in the world had financial freedom. Think of a world with more equal access to healthcare, education, owning a home, starting a business, saving for retirement and the ability to build generational prosperity for their families and their communities. A world where the color of your skin, who you love, how you identify, where you came from and where you live do not determine how far you can go. The mural should express feelings of joy, confidence, hope, pride, inspiration, love, satisfaction, serenity and optimism.
The mural is not a statement about the current state of the world, which we know often seems more dystopian than utopian. Instead, it shows the beauty of diversity, equity and inclusion, and how lifting each other up will elevate us all.
